MQM to cooperate with new govt: Altaf
KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain said his party is ready for negotiations with all the political parties; but it does not mean that MQM will beg for it. Addressing MQM workers in 25 locations including Azizabad Lal Kila Ground by phone on the occasion of 24th foundation day of MQM, Altaf Hussain said, ‘Congratulations to Asif Zardari for forming government and entering alliance with Muslim League-N; MQM would extend its cooperation to the government despite all the opposition and would offer no obstruction in government’s functioning. Alaf Hussain said before assuming power, the parties claiming to have bagged majority vote, started decrying that they received a blood-soaked Pakistan, a Pakistan that is tamped down under juggernaut of dearness and economically bankrupt country. It clearly makes their intentions conspicuous that they are poised to do nothing for the people and just like their past, they will loot the national resources for their families, he maintained. MQM chief warned his party workers that riots are being planned for Karachi, for which arms and ammunitions are being distributed; but the voice of Muttahida and its workers cannot be gagged through violence. Altaf Hussain observed, ‘I want to tell those who are playing to the tune of conspirators or themselves hatching conspiracies to suppress MQM and its workers that this is 2008 not 1992. MQM chief said N-League commences with N, accordingly, they keep saying, ‘No, No.’ He continued to say the message of Muttahida for the elimination of the feudal system and attainment of the rights for the oppressed would keep disseminating despite ‘No, no of the No League.’
